Hi friends! This account is used to research on animals wellness and current issues for my Writing 39C class.

However, I wonder how much it would cost remove the dams. I imagine it would be incredibly expensive to the dam. #39canimals

[Eric @EricDal82839594]

"Restoring the Comlumbia and Snake River basin (removal of dams) is crucial for chinook salmon to survive and therefore, for orcas to survive." #39canimals

It's repellent knowing that dolphins are being tortured and forced to do certain things just for our entertainment. #39canimals

[Christopher Calvillo @Christo69874181]

"Dolphin captivity captures and holds wild dolphins for their benefit to the human race. Instilling abuse and psychological and physiological trauma, the problem opposes the common existences of ethical standards within any human activity." (Christopher Calvillo)

I completely agree with you. These laws will tremendously reduce the rate at which the ocean is degrading. #39canimals

[Christopher Calvillo @Christo69874181]

"The next global solution that has been proposed to solve the problem of habitat degradation has been the laws and policies regarding littering and the trashing of the oceans." (Christopher Calvillo)

I agree with you. Another solution I could think of is to fix the current laws that are allowing these conditions in zoos. #39canimals

[David Huang @DavidHu29052963]

We could still have zoos, but we need to improve elephant welfare and zoo management to provide them with comfortable, healthy, and free living conditions, and gradually reduce the number of zoos-letting elephants back to nature in a realistic plan. #39canimals

[Anh Nguyen @AnhNguyen1827]

I've always thought that these collisions would at most injure the birds, not kill them. That's very sad. #39canimals

[Noopur Siroya @NoopurSiroya]

#39canimals “One billion birds are killed by collisions with glass in the United States every year” - https://t.co/0UPf6kzI4P

[Anh Nguyen @AnhNguyen1827]

That will be a devastated consequence. I have never thought that honey bees would be that important until now. #39canimals

[Kira Kubo @kira_kubo]

If honey bees go extinct, a third of our crops die out. With them goes the animals that feed on those crops. Major parts of our food sources disappear, causing hundreds of thousands of human beings to die of starvation. We cannot exist without them. #39canimals

[Anh Nguyen @AnhNguyen1827]

Because of this, I think we need better laws and enforcement to regulate the parks. #39canimals

[Eric @EricDal82839594]

"Biggest of all, the orcas face the problem of captivity. Captivity involves capturing orcas in the wild and taking them to parks where people can go and see them" #39canimals

[Anh Nguyen @AnhNguyen1827]

The fact that they are forced to be in this position for most of their lives is abhorrent. #39canimals

[Maggie Lung @Maggie09520315]

#39canimals
"For most factory farms, pigs stay on hard concrete floors because it is easier to clean bare flooring...Pregnant pigs are especially vulnerable to leg problems-their bone density decreases tremendously with the poor living condition and the extra carrying of babies."

[Anh Nguyen @AnhNguyen1827]

Interesting. Would animals be farmed free-range instead? #39canimals

[Maggie Lung @Maggie09520315]

#39canimals
"The Farm System Reform Act was created to ban factory farming by 2040. The goal of this bill is to stop factory farms from posing harm to animals, the environment, and humans by creating a more “sustainable and humane system” in the field."

[Anh Nguyen @AnhNguyen1827]

I agree. Some people believe that wolves are dangerous animals who could injure humans and livestocks. However, in reality, wolves is a keystone species. #39canimals

[SONGBO GAO @GaoSongbo]

#39canimals
Some people are against the protection of wolves. For example, the U.S. Congress removed the Wolf from the endangered species act. The ESA(Endangered Species preservation Action) of 1967 was the first to list wolves for protection.

California and Maryland are two states that have ban retail pet sales. This means that pet stores that obtain their pets from commercial breeding facilities are illegal. #WhatIlearnedin39C

[Anh Nguyen @AnhNguyen1827]

Dogs also have reconciliatory behavior. In particular, the reconciliation rate is higher between familiar dogs post conflict more than between unfamiliar dogs. #WhatIlearnedin39C
https://t.co/dDZUVV3DMZ

[Anh Nguyen @AnhNguyen1827]

Through researching on dogs, I learned that dogs tend to bow when they want to play and continuing playing with other dogs. This is important because it shows that dogs behave with clear intentions in mind. #WhatIlearnedin39C

[Anh Nguyen @AnhNguyen1827]

In creating an online portfolio, I was also able to learn more about the conventions of a website. For example, including white space between paragraphs is a convention because it encourages the readers to read the paragraph more. #WhatIlearnedin39C

[Anh Nguyen @AnhNguyen1827]

Through this quarter, I got to know many more search engines where I can find scholarly articles for my research. Some of the search engines are Google Scholar, Research Gate, and Ebsco. #WhatIlearnedin39C

[Anh Nguyen @AnhNguyen1827]

Retail pet sale bans have the potential to reduce the number of operating puppy mills. Instead of trying to locate and regulate every commercial breeding facility like the AWA, retail pet sale bans work directly to erase these commercial breeding facilities. #39canimals

[Anh Nguyen @AnhNguyen1827]

Unadopted dogs and rescued mill dogs lead to dog overpopulation and overcrowded animal shelters. Each year, around 1.2 million dogs are euthanized to create more space. #39canimals

[Anh Nguyen @AnhNguyen1827]

Consumers are also partially responsible for the continuing existence of puppy mills. Many consumers disregard the option of adopting and "continue to buy dogs from pet stores, thus supporting the cycle of dogs bred in puppy mills entering the marketplace." #39canimals

[Anh Nguyen @AnhNguyen1827]

The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) estimates that there are up to 10,000 commercial breeding facilities including unlicensed facilities. #39canimals

[Anh Nguyen @AnhNguyen1827]

The USDA indulges the prohibited activities of commercial breeding facilities and does not actively enforce penalties ... the chart below from the ASPCA shows that the USDA has become increasingly lenient toward the licensed facilities. #39canimals
